Operation tomorrow!

So scared right now, my operation is tomorrow and I don’t feel prepared whatsoever. What is to be expected? I’m scared of the pain I’m going to be in, how much sleep I’m going to lose, what if I’m not the size I want to be? Travelling home in my car (I won’t be driving lol) do I need my pillows with me? Sorry about all the questions just want to prepare myself, any advice or tips to help me sleep easier as I see a lot of girls saying how much sleep they are not getting xx

Don’t worry x I am 7DPO today and going for my post op tonight. Each days gets better just don’t over do it. I started going for short walks on day 3 just round the block. Get everything at home prepped like your pillows and put everything within easy reach this made it easier. I had my BF at home but did all the simple things the night before like changing the bedding, having toiletries to hand like toner and face wash. I had a box by the bed for all my meds, dry shampoo, baby wipes, hair brush, mints, lip balm etc so they were easy to get out.

I took a v pillow with me for the drive home. I went in leggings and a zip up hoody and just came home in the same clothes – easy to pull up. I took slippers and clean underwear and my post op bra and that was all I needed and used.

The last few days I have walked at least 2.5 miles per day which helps a lot just to get fresh air. Today is day 1 with no paracetamol or ibuprofen and I stopped codeine on day 3.

Good luck x

Getting a 340cc what size could this take me to? Is it dependent to every individual?? Xx

Hi Amber. Honestly don’t work yourself up. The day goes so quick and as soon as you wake up you wonder why you was worried. I am 2 days post op from 400cc unders and the pain hasn’t been anywhere near as bad as I thought. I’ve wanted to get up and do things in the house but my boyfriend is having none of it cause he thinks it will take me longer to recover if I start doing things. If you need any advice on anything give me a shout. My mum bought me a V pillow which has been the best thing ever. Not getting much sleep but it’s very comfortable and I also have arnica tablets for muscle pain and swelling so I don’t know if that’s why I haven’t had much pain. Good luck xxxxxx
